Paid list price, When I decided that's what I wanted at end of October I was told it would be unlikely I'd get one from the factory, so rather than wait to be bumped and get my deposit back in 4 months time, I grabbed this one as its pretty much the spec I'd have ordered anyway. I'd maybe have asked for the alcantara centre console but that's the only thing its missing.
Fair play, I wouldn't worry about the alcantara centre console.
Interesting that you were able to negotiate out the premium from the deal so at the end of the day you have come out of it ok and have secured a cracking car
Enjoy

I enquirered on Monday with a few dealers if any where around for sale as I missed the shut off date.
I got offered 5 cars within 1 hour so there are definitely cars around.
And I now pick up this on Saturday. Under 100 miles, can't wait

Hi shaunRS

Thanks, I always said I would never sell my RS and just sold it to buy this car.

Probably not the best financial move but there you go!!

I think you will be lucky to get one under list, you might get a couple of grand off

Good luck

Stunning! looks same as my car paint, stripes and callipers, I don't have the carbon front fins or fuel cap, but have the carbon centre caps to go with the black wheels.

Congratulations, nice one!

Just a quickie
Took her out today. Wow
The noise, speed, handling are immense! I really thought I would miss my GT3 RS but first impressions have blown it out of the water. Different cars, but wow. I always thought I was an anologue guy.
And then I drove my mum home 50 miles. She insisted :-)
Watta car
Ps. The above cars look great. I honestly think every colour combo works

I dont understand the Speciale market.

This car looks amazing and has been for sale for months at 10k off list at 500 miles.

Why doesn't it sell?

There is a demo I'm also considering with 3k miles, do you think there is movement on paying list for it?

Fair enough,I hadn't seen that.
I wouldn't expect to pay list price for someone else's optional extras though.
Maybe just me.

Some of the cars I looked at spec'd out at 275k

I did enquire about the Simon Furlonger car but discounted it as it had had damage to the drivers door. Nothing was hidden, the dealer mentioned it from the outset, but it put me off. I was told minor, but at the price it was a deal breaker for me.

looks like the same spec as Nottinghams first demo.......apparently someone did prang that on a demo, thought it was more than a door, might not be the same car though.

Definitely is the same car - confirmed with owner directly.
